SOG and complete a SIGACT as soon as possible.
(8) AT NO TIME will a guard be in the CCT tent or sitting down
while a guard(s) is in the compound. The guard(s) will post either at
the gate or at the most appropriate location to facilitate the guard(s) in
the compound. The CCT will not use the tower as the only means of
over watch for the guard(s) in the compound.
(9) Once relieved of duty after a shift, no CCT member or Tower
Guard should have reason to return to the compound for the purposes
of interacting with detainees without the express permission of the
Facility Commander or Operations SGM. In the event a CCT member
or Tower Guard has forgotten and left equipment at the IF and cannot
wait to have it brought to them, they may return to collect their
property however, they should not “hang out”.
b. 3 Meter Rule:
(1) The 3 meter rule is in place in order to keep detainees away
from the fence line and as a control measure within the compound. At
no time will detainees be allowed to cross the sand bags with out the
expressed permission of the CCT or the Towers.
(2) In the event a detainee continues to cross the 3 meter line, or
attempts to move sandbags closer to the fence line, tower guards and
CCT’s will attempt to deal with the situation IAW procedures stated in
the ROE/RUF at Appendix-B and C. If the detainee fails to follow
warnings from the tower guard, and/or CCT IAW the ROE/RUF, the
detainee will be ordered to his knees and CCT’s will take control of the
detainee and restrain him.
(3) Situation will dictate weather or not a tower should or should
not shoot, i.e. If a detainee is coming to the sally port to get meds and
crosses the 3 meter line at the gate area, CCT’s should be in control
and the tower should not be yelling at the detainee. Use common
sense.
c. Curfew:
(1) Detainees at Level-I, and II are not required to adhere to a
curfew.
(2) Detainees at Level-III are required to adhere to a curfew
between the hours of 2400 through 0300 respectfully to the detainee’s
prayer times. (Note: Curfew for Level-IV detainees will be 2100
hours).
(3) Curfew, (when implemented), will be strictly adhered to by all
detainees and enforced by the CCTs and towers of each compound.
(4) CCTs will have the option of pushing the curfew up one (1)
hour as a disciplinary measure but only for detainee’s who are
12
involved in incidents where discipline is necessary and only for
detainees in a Level-III or Level-IV compound.
(5) CCT’s will not push the curfew back in Level-III and LevelIV compounds without the express permission of the Facility
Commander through the SOG.
(6) Curfew means, ALL detainees will be in their assigned
tents without movement between tents and only those needing to
utilize the latrine with water bottles in hand or assisting the elderly
or lame will be allowed to go directly to the latrine and back to
THEIR perspective tent. This means CCTs should be vigilant
when any detainee is moving between the latrine and tent area.
Towers will also be vigilant and both CCT and towers will maintain
contact during detainee movement.
(7) Detainees will only be allowed to fill water bottles after
curfew. Water jugs will not be allowed to be filled after curfew.
(8) In the event detainees refuse to follow curfew rules, the
CCT and Towers will deal with the situation IAW ROE/RUF at
Appendix-B and C and will impose disciplinary measures IAW
Behavior Management Disciplinary Procedures at Appendix-E.
(9) See para 2-8r(2) for specific curfew rules for Detainees in
Level-IV and Segregation (ISO) compounds.
d. Compound Uprising (Riots):
(1) In the event an uprising occurs within the compound.
CCT’s will immediately notify the SOG. The SOG will contact the
ERF (Emergency Reaction Force) if all means to calm the
detainees down fail. No guards will enter the compound or attempt
to rectify the situation during an uprising or riot situation.
e. Hostage Situation:
(2) In the event a guard is in the compound and is taken
hostage from that point on lethal force is authorized by the tower
guards. The CCT will notify the SOG immediately. Medical will be
put on standby and Seminole Base will be notified of the situation.
At NO time will any CCT, ERF member or SOG enter the
compound to take control of the situation.
(3) If these fail, additional personnel will be requested by the
SOG of all available personnel in the Camp Bucca AO, through
Seminole Base.
(4) See Appendix-B and C for Rules of Engagement (ROE)
that will be followed at all times in all situations.
f. Gaining Control Of Compound:
In the event a potential uprising has occurred or is in the process
of occurring, or anytime CCT’s need to gain control of the
compound. CCTs will employ the use of a whistle. Use of a
whistle requires all detainees to lay prone on the ground with their
hands on the back of their heads, at which time any detainee still
standing will be engaged by towers with less than lethal means.
(NOTE: Before this policy is implemented all Detainee’s will have
been briefed on the procedures to be followed).
g. Staff Journals: (See Appendix-D for specific guidance on
Staff Journals). NOTE: Every CTT and Tower will maintain a DA
Form 1594 Staff Journal.
(1) All CCT and Tower Guards will use DA Form 1594, Daily
Staff Journal to enter all activities during the course of their shift
within their perspective compound. Entries will include at a
minimum: (a) Assumption of duties
(b) Accountability and inspections
(c) Movement of Detainees
(d) All Significant Activity Report events
(e) Significant entries by the SOG on site.
(f) Medical events
(g) Disciplinary events
(h) All radio checks and status
(i) All significant compound events i.e. showers, chow, work
conducted etc…
(j) Relief of CCT or Tower Guard at end of shift
(2) Note: While the DA Form 1594 is the primary form used
by the CCT, additional entries must be made on the current
manifest for any changes taking place, movement log attached to
the back of the current days manifest and Disciplinary log.
(3) All DA Form 1594’s will be turned into the respective CCT
or Security SOG on duty at the end of the Mid. shift on Sunday
morning for turn in to the TOC.
h. Compound Inspections:
(1) Inspections of compounds will occur daily with a random
number of tents (1 to 3) being inspected in each compound every day.
(2) Other specific inspections will take place on an as needed
basis depending on information received from intelligence provided by
detainees and information submitted by CCT’s and Tower Guards in
Significant Activity Reports (Appendix-H). (Examples include but are
not limited to: Reports of weapons or contraband, reports of planned
escapes, unaccounted tools or equipment).
(3) All contraband discovered during an inspection will be
accounted for on the Significant Activities Report, (See Appendix-H).
(4) Inspection Procedures:
(a) Notify BN TOC prior to conducting compound inspection.
(b) Notify IRF and dispatch additional security to the compound to
act as inspection teams.
(c) Notify towers of the impending inspection. Tower guards
stand in their towers and scan their sectors during entire inspection of
compound.
(d) Once the IRF and any additional required personnel rally at
the compound, the Security OIC/NCOIC assumes command and
control of the inspection team.
(e) CCT orders detainees to assemble in holding area and
conducts a headcount. (1) IRF team provides over-watch of
compound holding area armed with a shotgun loaded with non-lethal
shells.
(f) CCT’s ensure that all MP entering the compound are not
carrying any weapons.
(g) Security OIC/NCOIC identifies an extraction team consisting
of second IRF team to use in the event that detainee’s are non
compliant.
(h) The Security OIC/NCOIC identifies the inspection teams.
(i) The inspection team(s) and (1) CCT member will enter the
detainee living area and systematically inspect the identified tents to
ensure all detainees have vacated the living area.
(j) Once all the tents have been cleared, MP inspection team will
inspect the tents in a systematic manner ensuring each tent, the
concertina wire, pickets and open area are searched.
1. Detainee living quarters are inspected thoroughly and
returned to a similar condition in which it was found.
2. MP search in likely contraband storage areas like under tent
floors, under sandbags, in sandbags and in seams of the tentage.
3. Unused tent poles and tent pegs are removed as well as any
other object which may be fashioned into contraband.
4. After the search is completed, contraband is removed from the
compound and is reported to the BN TOC.
(k) Once the inspection is complete the inspection team, IRF and
CCT’s will stand down from the inspection process.
(l) Once all detainees are accounted for and returned to the
detainee living area, a Significant Activities Report (Appendix-H), will
be submitted to the BN TOC as required.
i. Disposition of Confiscated Contraband:
(1) Any contraband discovered will be turned in to the Battalion
Operations with a Significant Activity Report (Appendix-H).
(2) Contraband received by the Battalion Operations will:
(a) First be screened for intelligence value. If of intelligence value
it will be turned over to the S-2 for disposition through intelligence
channels.
(b) Second, if contraband can not be connected to a detainee and
is of no intelligence value, is not personal type property or poses a
security risk (i.e. Shank) it will be destroyed after being documented.
(c) Third, if the contraband can be connected to a detainee and is
not of intelligence value, and doesn’t pose a security risk, the
contraband will be receipted into the detainee’s confiscated property
and detainee will be provided with a receipt.
(d) Fourth, if the contraband can be connected to a detainee and
is not of intelligence value but is a security risk, (i.e. Shank) the
contraband will be destroyed after all supporting documentation has
been completed and placed in the detainees discipline file.
13
2-12. Initital Reaction Force And Roving Patrol:
2-13. Military Working Dogs (MWD):
a. IRF will consist of (3) teams per shift. Teams will consist
of (2) personnel and (1) vehicle. When IRF is required all (3)
teams will respond. When not performing IRF functions, IRF team
will act as Roving Patrols.
b. Roving patrol will consist of (4) teams per shift. Teams will
consist of (2) personnel and (1) vehicle. (1) Roving team will
conduct continuous patrol around outer IF perimeter road between
Outer IF Fence and Inner Trench Berm unless relieving a tower
guard IAW Tower Guard Rotation shown at Figure 2-1.
c. The security of U. S. Forces and Detainees in U. S. care is
paramount. Use the minimal force necessary for mission
accomplishment and force protection. The use of IRF teams is a
level of force and to be used in response to a level of resistance by
a detainee or in response to an emergency. Use of these teams
and other levels of force are not to be used a method of
punishment.
(1) The SOG / OIC will designate the Internal Reaction Force
(IRF) team which will consist of (6) soldiers and (3) HMMWV’s.
(a) The IRF teams will be distributed throughout the IF during
each shift at the front of the compounds near the CCT tents.
(b) When the use of the IRF is necessary, the SOG will
contact which team is needed via radio to have that team report to
the designated area or compound.
(c) The IRF will be assigned 24 hours a day (as directed by
shift) to assist each security shift.
(d) The SOG will ensure the IRF is properly instructed to react
to all possible emergence response situations. The SOG will
ensure all team members are thoroughly familiar with their duties
and responsibilities.
(e) The SOG will ensure the accountability and serviceability
of all IRF equipment.
(2) The IRF team is intended to be used primarily as a force
extraction team, specializing in the extraction of a detainee who is
combative or resistive to being removed from a compound. It is
not intended to be used on every detainee who is to be moved to
isolation, but on those who indicate or demonstrate an intention to
resist the move to isolation or another location. Unless it is an
emergency situation the Battalion operation center is the only
element authorized to move a detainee.
(3) If a disturbance occurs within the facility and the IRF is
ordered to respond, the SOG will determine which teams will be
needed and how they will be used. The SOG will control their
efforts until the disturbance is neutralized and area is secure. If it
becomes necessary to use more force the rovers will be utilized.
(4) The rover teams will be utilized in the same manner as the
IRF teams except for the fact that they are in constant motion
around the entire compound area.
(5) The IRF will provide security by checking all concertina
wire and gates while driving around each compound. They will
also drive around the immediate outside fence to ensure it is
properly secured also. This will be done at a minimum of once an
hour. They will be logged in and out on the ECP staff journal. The
IRF will also provide non-lethal back-up support when an IRF has
to go into a compound. They will also check all KBR conex boxes
to ensure they are properly secured at end of the civilian duty day.
(6) Before the use of an IRF team is used to subdue a
detainee, the mayor of that compound should be aware and had
an opportunity to attempt to stop the disturbance with the CCT . It
may be at times necessary for the IRF to be deployed immediately,
depending on the seriousness of the disturbance.
(7) The UNIFORM for the IRF and Rovers when entering a
compound will be BDU’s with sleeves down, Kevlar, IBA, gloves,
appropriate Riot Gear, and flexi-cuffs.
(8) IRF Training should occur at guard mount before each
shift on a rotational basis along with the other types of training
being conducted.
(9) A Significant activities report (Appendix-H) will be initiated
when an IRF is activated and used for a disturbance. This may be
completed by the CCT or the team itself, depending on the
circumstances.
(10)
The Security SOG ONLY will notify the TOC if more
force is needed for maintaining operations in the IF.
a. General: MP dog handlers must learn good safety habits and
must practice them at all times. Some people believe MWDs, whether
on leash or loose, are walking safety hazards. Safety conscious
handlers can prevent MWDs from committing unsafe acts and thereby
dispel such misconceptions. Safety practices must begin the minute a
handler enters the kennel area.
b. Procedures In and Around Kennel Areas:
(1) At NO TIME will any unauthorized personnel be allowed
access to the kennel facility. Personnel other than MWD handlers will
only be authorized accompanied access at the direction of the Kennel
NCOIC. Veterinary and maintenance personnel will be accompanied
at all times while working within the facility.
(2) Handlers must refrain from running or engaging in any type of
horseplay in or near the kennel area. Such actions tend to stimulate
the dogs and can create a situation wherein a dog might break out of
its kennel and/or cause injury to itself, a person or another dog.
(3) A handler must use caution to maintain control over his dog
when moving it from one place to another in the kennel area. A safety
leash will be used at all times in the kennel area.
(4) There are a number of safety precautions to observe while in
and around the kennel area:
(a) When dogs are inside their runs, secure all gates and doors to
the runs.
(b) Use caution to avoid sudden movement around the kennel
area.
(c) Use extreme cautions when cleaning, feeding and watering all
dogs.
(d) In the event a loose dog appears in the area, the first person
to notice the animal must give the alarm “LOOSE DOG” and everyone
in the area, except the dog’s handler, must freeze. The dog’s handler
must immediately secure the dog.
(e) Handlers must take up a short leash upon approaching
anyone with their dog to allow a safe distance between their dog and
the personnel in the area.
(f) Handlers with dogs on leash must give oral warning upon
entering or leaving the kennel area and at any time there is an
obstructed view by calling out, “Dog coming through/in/out/by/etc.,”
whichever is appropriate.
(g) Personnel should never turn their backs on dogs. Never kick,
slap or hit a dog, except when directed in training as a training aid.
c. Procedures During Movement:
(1) While moving to and from designated training areas, and
during break and grooming periods, handlers must always keep their
dogs on leash.
(2) A safe distance must be maintained between other teams and
other people. As a rule, there should be at least fifteen feet between
dogs or between a dog and another person. When it becomes
necessary to approach other dog teams, dogs must be held on short
leashes. A greater distance must be allowed during break periods
because this is the time for the dogs to romp and play at the end of
the leash.
(3) When accompanied by his dog, the handler should not sit or
lie down because he would be in an extremely awkward position to
control the dog if it suddenly lunged.
(4) To pass an article to another person, the handler will place the
article on the ground and take his dog from the immediate area. The
other person can then safely retrieve the article.
(5) The handler will not tie his dog to any object with the leash for
any extended period of time since the dog may chew through the
leash, break it, gain freedom and perhaps cause injury to itself or
others.
(6) A dog will never be staked out unobserved or left unobserved
with a muzzle on.
(7) The handler will never tie his dog to a vehicle or other
movable object. The dog might receive a serious injury if the vehicle
is moved.
14
(8) Many dogs have a natural desire to fight other dogs when
they are brought together. It is important to follow safe procedures
when breaking up a dog fight. To begin with, breaking up a dog
fight is a two-man job; no one should attempt to accomplish it
alone. Fighting dogs should never be pulled apart; pulling them
apart may cause a ripping or tearing of the flash and/or disable the
dogs. In breaking up a dog fight, the handler should:
(a) Keep his leash taut as he gradually works his hand toward
the snap of the leash.
(b) Firmly hold the leash one inch from the snap with his
strong hand and slip his weaker hand underneath the dogs’ neck.
(c) Grab the throat of the dog with the weaker hand at a point
below the lower jaw.
(d) Choke the dog until the air supply is cut off, thus forcing
the dog to release its hold.
(e) Repeatedly command the dog “OUT!” during the entire
procedure.
(9) If a handler is bitten by a dog, he uses the same procedure
to affect a release as used to separate two fighting dogs. Never
attempt to jerk away from the dog since this action may cause a
serious wound.
(10)
An alert handler can avoid being bitten by his own dog.
If the dog attempts to bite, grab the leash close to the dogs neck,
hold the animal’s front feet off the ground, extend arms to push the
dog away and, at the same time, slowly turn in a circle to keep the
dog off balance. This serves two purposes; it keeps the dog from
seriously harming its handler and it is a means to correct his dog
from trying to bite him. The handler will repeatedly command the
dog “OUT” during the procedure.
(11)
Until a dog has received all of its initial training, most
of its time is spent in either the kennel area or the training area.
Therefore, it is important that the handler be especially aware of
his safety responsibilities while in these areas.
(12)
Dogs will not be agitated in the kennel runs, support
buildings/areas or in the area immediately surrounding kennels.
d. Procedures Around Veterinary Treatment Facilities:
(1) The opportunity for violation of good safety practices exists
when the handler presents his dog to the veterinarian for
examination or treatment. The handler must keep in mind that his
dog is in strange surroundings, among strange people, for
treatment that is unusual and sometimes painful. This is an
abnormal situation for the dog and its behavior may not be what
the handler expects. Therefore, the handler must always be alert
and prepared to control his animal at all times while medical care is
being given.
(2) Because of the flow of animal traffic during clinical hours,
the distance between dogs prevents a safety problem. A dog must
always be kept a safe distance from other dogs, handlers and vet
personnel. Dogs must be muzzled and kept on a short leash at all
times while in the vet clinic.
(3) The handler must be familiar with and utilize the
appropriate safety precautions as set forth in this SOP when the
situation mandates.
e. Patrol Safety:
(1) Handlers must warn personnel who attempt to approach
their dog that the dog will attack you without command.
(2) Handlers will not allow their dogs to be left unattended in
their patrol vehicle for an extended period of time.
(3) Handlers will ensure that when patrolling with the dogs in
the front of the vehicle that the right side (passenger) window is
rolled up sufficiently so that the dog cannot escape or jump from
the window while riding in the vehicle.
f. MWD Procedures For Detainee Operations:
(1) The primary function of patrol dogs in the IF area is
detecting unauthorized personnel and warning the handler. Once
the handler has been alerted, it becomes the responsibility of the
handler to cope with the situation in the most appropriate manner.
(2) The secondary function of MWD’s in the IF is to pursue
attack and hold any escapee. Releasing the dog constitutes the
application of physical force and is governed by use of force
requirements.
(3) It is required before releasing an MWD, that all lesser
means of force have been attempted when it is reasonable to do
so. It is the duty of the handler to apply the minimum amount of
force necessary to prevent escape. Before releasing an MWD the
handler will give the command “HALT” three times. Handlers must
avoid releasing the MWD to attack until the risk to innocent persons is
eliminated or minimized.
(4) The MWD is the most effective when the team is on foot; a
patrol dog used during daylight hours provides a good psychological
deterrent to escape. An MWD team will periodically patrol the IF
during daylight hours. MWD’s will also patrol the IF at night and
during hours of reduced visibility.
(5) When the need for tracking arises, personnel who are on
scene should avoid the area and keep other personnel from entering
the area to reduce contamination of the area. MWD’s will always
precede the search party; the search party should maintain a sufficient
distance from the dog team to reduce distractions.
(6) MWD teams will not be used in the IF for crowd control or
direct confrontation with detainees unless determined absolutely
necessary by the responsible commander. Use of patrol dog teams
for direct confrontation with demonstrators is not recommended. The
decision to employ MWD’s must be weighed carefully by the
responsible commander to be sure that if MWD teams are committed
that all lesser means of force have been reasonably attempted and
failed. The use of MWD teams comes only as an alternative to the
use of deadly force to gain control of the situation. If the commander
directs employment of MWD’s for riot/crowd control the following
procedures must be followed.
(a) During peaceful stages of confrontation MWD teams will be
held in reserve, out of sight of the crowd. As the situation worsens,
dog teams may be moved forward to within sight of the crowd, but
away from the front lines.
(b) When on the front lines dogs are kept on a short leash and
allowed to bite only under specific circumstances authorized by the
responsible commander. Dogs will never be released into a crowd.
(c) Other riot control personnel should be positioned
approximately 10 feet from MWD teams to avoid unintentional injury.
(d) MWD may be used to help apprehension teams catch and
remove specific individuals in a group of detainees. In this role, the
dog team is used only to protect members of the apprehension team.
(7) MWD teams may be posted around holding areas and
processing centers to prevent escape of prisoners.
(8) MWD teams may be used to guard detainees while in transit,
and assist in the search for escaped prisoner.
(9) MWD’s will stay out of inner perimeter of compounds unless
doing riot/crowd control, extraction/protection of personnel or a
command directed search of the tents for contraband.
(10)
MWD’s will not be used to coerce or menace detainees
during interrogation, or any other similar circumstances.
(11)
The K-9 NCOIC will ensure at a minimum there is a dog
team on duty every night from 2000-0400. When both handlers are
working, one team will randomly work 8 hours between 0400-2000.
Handlers are encouraged to occasionally have dogs bark, and
conduct aggression training within the IF area to demonstrate MWD
capabilities. It is recommended that handlers do both foot and vehicle
patrols within the IF area.
g. Training Of Non-K-9 Personnel About MWD Teams:
(1) Applicability: These instructions apply to all personnel who
may encounter MWD teams while on Camp Bucca.
(2) General: MWD teams employed in security and combat
operations constitute an important element in protecting installation
resources and enforcing law and order. It is important to understand
MWD behavior when encountering a military working dog team, while
they are on and off duty.
(3) Behavior around MWD’s:
(a) The best thing to do when around a MWD team is to keep
your distance and ignore the dog. Do not stare directly into the dogs
eyes, they may perceive this as a challenge for dominance and it
could provoke an attack.
(b) Do not approach an MWD team suddenly or aggressively.
MWD’s are trained to attack without command when they perceive
their handler to be in danger. Remember this is the dog’s perception,
not yours. Running and horseplay should also be avoided.
(c) Do not ask, or attempt to pet working dogs. They are not pets
and are limited in the amount of socialization they receive.
15
(d) An MWD team always has the right of way. If you cross
path’s with a MWD team ensure you give the handler at least 10
feet of distance between you and him.
(4) Effect of wind on how a dog works:
(a) The wind plays an important role in the MWD’s ability to
detect unauthorized personnel. Normally an MWD team will begin
to scout an open for an individual from the downwind side.
(b) During high winds it is important for an MWD team to be
alerted quickly.
(c) In a desert environment there is nothing for scent to stick
to and it is quickly blown away.
(d) A light steady wind is ideal for scouting and tracking, scent
is blown steadily and usually stays within a cone.
(5) Your position when a dog is scouting or tracking:
(a) When a MWD is scouting or tracking it will always precede
the search party. Individuals on the search party should stay close
enough to back up the team without distracting them. The
distance will vary from one dog team to the next.
(b) It is also important to stay out of thee area before MWD is
there, this will prevent contraindication of the area by extra scent.
(6) What should you do if a handler becomes hurt or
unconscious: Notify another handler immediately to take control of
the MWD.
(7) Training with K-9 personnel:
(a) K-9 personnel train almost everyday to keep up proficiency
levels. Non-handler personnel are authorized and encouraged to
act as decoys.
(c) MWD teams are also available to do realistic law
enforcement scenario based training that would be productive.

Chapter 3
Detainee Security Escort Procedures
3-1.
Detainee Security Escort Procedures:
a. This section provides guidance to leaders and personnel
assigned to conduct guard escort missions involving the movement
of detainees from one detainment facility to another.
b. All personnel participating in Detainee Movement
Operations will receive a mission brief/OPORD at least 24 hours
prior to the SP. Mission/OPORD brief will include the following
information.
(1) Radio frequencies (Sheriff net, medevac) to be used for
any emergencies, (medical, security, breakdown).
(2) Grid Coordinate locations for Coalition Forces Base Camp
locations along the intended route of travel.
(3) Each vehicle in the security convoy will have this
information readily available. Convoy commander is responsible
for ensuring that each vehicle in the convoy has this required
information.
c. Responsibilities:
(1) Officer in Charge (OIC) / Convoy Commander:
The OIC is responsible for every aspect of the mission from
planning and training personnel to the safety and accountability of
detainees and US Forces during movement.
(2) NCOIC:
An NCOIC will be assigned to every section, ie. Escort vehicles,
bus guards and bus drivers as well as an overall NCOIC.
(a) Each NCOIC is responsible for the daily accountability of
personnel, equipment and sensitive items as well as ensuring all
equipment and vehicles are mission ready the day prior to the start
of the mission.
(b) Section NCOICs are responsible for conducting precombat inspections prior to each operation. Section NCOICs are
further responsible for ensuring accountability of sensitive items
prior to each move. Each section NCOIC is responsible for
everything that his section does or fails to do.
(3) Team Leaders (TM LDR’s):
Escort TM LDR’s are responsible for the actions of TM members
during the mission. TM LDR’s conduct pre-combat checks and
ensure team members understand their duties and all vehicles and
equipment are mission ready the day prior to SP. Team leaders
are responsible for ensuring accountability of all sensitive items
prior to each move.
(4) Gunners:
Escort Gunners provide security against attack/sabotage during
movement of the detainees as well as provide security during the
loading, searching and unloading of detainees. Each gunner
ensures weapons are clean, serviceable with sufficient ammunition
as determined by the mission OIC/NCOIC.
(5) Bus Drivers: (Driver and Assistant Driver Always)
Bus Drivers drive the detainee buses from the transfer point to the
receiving point. They conduct PMCS, ensure that windows cannot
be opened (secured with screws), Lock rear doors with zip ties,
and ensure buses are fueled the day prior to mission SP. Bus
drivers also must know tire changing procedures for the type of
bus they are operating. They ensure that sufficient water and food
is available for personnel on the bus. Bus drivers are generally
armed with an M9 pistol as determined by the convoy
commander.
(6) Bus Guards:
A minimum of two Bus Guards provide over-watch of the detainees
during loading, transporting and unloading. Their primary
responsibility is to ensure no detainee escapes and protect the
lives of US personnel on the bus. An NCOIC is assigned for each
bus guard team. The bus guard “on duty” or observing detainees
maintains control of the 12 gauge shotgun. The other guard is also
armed with a shotgun. Once the detainee enters the bus, the
guard ensures he does not leave the bus until reaching the transfer
point. Headcounts are conducted every 30 minutes and commo
checks are conducted every hour. Bus Guards ensure any
escapes, escape attempts, medical emergencies or other
problems are reported to the mission OIC/NCOIC as soon as
possible.
d. Searching/Loading/Unloading:
(1) Searching and Loading Procedures are coordinated with the
transferring unit prior to the operation beginning. The Detainee escort
unit is responsible for searching prior to loading.
(2) Searching and Loading:
Detainees are searched using the two MP method. Each bus guard
team is a search team. Escort personnel provide security during
searching and loading. Each prisoner is checked off the manifest as
they load the bus. (See Figure 2-1)
(a) OIC/Convoy Commander:
The Convoy OIC tracks which prisoners and how many have loaded
each bus. The OIC checks off each prisoner as they are loaded,
verifies the bracelet matches the manifest and a dossier/transfer disk
is on hand for each detainee.
(b) NCOIC:
The NCOIC is overall responsible for the coordination and execution
of the searching and loading of detainees, as well as assigning areas
of responsibility for security to the team leaders.
(c) Team Leaders:
Team Leaders oversee security of areas as assigned by the NCOIC.
(d) Gunners:
Gunners provide over watch security as assigned.
(e) Bus Drivers:
Bus drivers drive buses from staging area to loading area or as
directed.
(f) Bus Guards:
Each bus guard team works as a search team. They are responsible
for searching each prisoner, ensuring no weapons or contraband is
brought onto the bus. One bus guard searches the detainee while the
other searches his personal effects. Bus guards also observe
detainees to prevent escapes as directed. As buses are brought
forward for loading, one bus guard boards the bus and becomes the
primary guard until all loading is completed and the second bus guard
joins him. (See Figure 3-1)
(3) Unloading:
Upon reaching the transfer point, it is the responsibility of the receiving
unit to search the prisoners if they wish to do so. The in-processing
personnel at the receiving point determine the type of method used to
verify receipt of detainees. No unloading will commence until
authorized by the OIC/NCOIC.
e. Formations/Modes Of Travel/Positions
(1) Convoy Formations: Convoy formations are set up to
provide the maximum amount of protection for all vehicles within the
convoy. The fact that enemy forces generally attack the last half of
the convoy should be taken into consideration when planning
movements.
(a) M1025/M1026 preferably M114 Escort Vehicles: Escort
vehicles provide overall security of the convoy during movement. The
formation use in this operation is “Scout (300 meter in front if avail),
Lead and Trail”. Other escorts are assigned as middle security as
needed. The number of middle escorts is dependent upon the
number of buses escorted. The middle escorts are distributed evenly
among the buses with the greatest escort presence toward the rear of
the convoy in the event of an uneven number of buses. (See Figure
3-2)
(b) Buses: Buses will be stacked no more than three deep
without an escort being present. This is due to convoy length, the
length of the buses and the inability of the buses to defend
themselves. Guards remain at the front of the bus at all times.
Detainees are seated completely to the rear of the bus allowing a
buffer zone of one to two empty seats. (See Figure 3-3). One empty
bus will accompany the convoy in case of breakdown as determined
by the Convoy Commander.
(2) Convoy Speed and Spacing:
(a) Convoy Speed:
Convoy speed is determined upon several things; road conditions,
weather conditions, visibility, civilian presence and the top speed of
the slowest vehicle. Upon taking these factors into consideration, the
convoy commander determines/changes convoy speed as
appropriate.
17
(b) Convoy Spacing:
Distance between vehicles is determined by the type of
environment. Generally, vehicle intervals are 50 meters in the city
and 100 meters in open terrain. Intervals should be increased or
decreased during inclement weather or poor visibility.
(3) Refueling:
All Vehicles and fuel cans will be full prior to SP and will refuel
along the route as designated in the OPORD. Detainee missions
have priority at refueling sites to minimize the wait. (At no time will
detainees exit the bus unless it is an emergency).
f. Detainees
(1) Method of Travel
Detainees are transported with unit buses or contracted buses. A
Military Police Combat Support Company (MP CSC) provides
escorts for security during movement.
(2) Detainee Restraint
(a) Use of Restraints
Detainees will be restrained during all movement. Preferred
method of restraint is the use of handcuffs and leg irons. If
cuffs/leg irons are not available in sufficient quantity, flex cuffs may
be used.
(b) Method of Restraint
Detainees should be shackled/cuffed to each other to prevent
/minimize escape attempts. The outside (towards the window)
detainee will be cuffed to the inside (Aisle) detainee at the hand
and foot. The aisle detainee will be cuffed to the other aisle
detainee and he will in turn be cuffed to the other outside detainee
forming a line. Each 3rd row of detainees will be shackled to each
other across the aisle of the bus to form a barrier against escape.
(3) Feeding/Drinking/Bodily Functions
(a) Feeding: Detainees are given 1 MRE prior to departing
the transfer point. The accessory pack and MRE heater are
removed prior to issue by out-processing personnel. Their next
meal will be given upon arrival at the receiving point. (Note. Bus
drivers ensure enough extra MREs are stored on the bus to feed
all personnel as an emergency meal).
(b) Drinking: One bottle of water is opened at any given time
per bus. Another bottle may be opened after the first bottle has
been passed around and consumed.
(c) Bodily Functions: All detainees are encouraged by a
translator to defecate prior to movement. Any defecation during
movement occurs on the rear stairwell toward the back of the bus
utilizing a trash bag. Detainees urinate into water bottles as they
are emptied.
g. Bus Configuration
(1) Both bus guards remain at the front of the bus at all times.
Under no circumstances do they move to the back of the bus. This
is to prevent a hostage situation from occurring.
(2) All detainees will be seated to the rear of the bus as to
allow one or more rows of empty seats between them and the
guards. Generally, no more than 40 detainees will be loaded onto
each bus. English speaking detainees should be placed towards
the front of the bus for use as an interpreter if needed. The bus
guard “on duty” positions himself in such a way as to best observe
detainee actions at all times. When the bus speed drops below 25
mph, both bus guards position themselves in a way to best
observe detainees until convoy speed resumes.
h. Emergency Action Plans (EAP)
(1) Detainee Escape in Open Terrain
In the event of detainee escape in open terrain, immediate and
careful evaluation should be taken to determine if the escape can
be stopped without lethal force.
(a) OIC/Convoy Commander
Upon notification of escape, the OIC/Convoy Commander
assesses the situation to determine how many detainees have
escaped, whether or not the detainee(s) can be apprehended and
take measures to ensure no further escapes occur. The OIC
informs the TOC of the escape using the SALUTE report format as
soon as possible.
(b) NCOIC
The Convoy NCOIC assists the OIC in his duties as well as
obtaining a PACE (Prisoners/Ammo/Casualties/Equipment) Report
from the NCOIC of each vehicle to help assess the situation. If
any casualties/injuries occurred as a result of the escape, the
Convoy NCOIC begins preparation and calls in a 9-line MedEvac if
necessary.
(c) Team Leaders
Team Leaders who witness the escape inform their gunners of the
situation and inform the OIC immediately. The team leader directs the
driver to pursue the detainee if the terrain allows. If physical pursuit is
possible the detainee is physically restrained and returned to his bus.
(d) Gunners
Gunners who observe an escaping detainee, shout “KIFF,KIFF,KIFF”.
If the detainee does not stop, and the escort vehicle is unable to
pursue, the gunner engages the detainee to prevent escape.
(e) Bus Drivers (If Military)
Upon notification of escape, the bus driver stops the bus to allow one
bus guard to exit. The driver then assists the remaining bus guard(s)
in observing detainees and informs escort elements and the other
buses of the escape via radio.
(f) Bus Guards
If a detainee escapes from a bus, one bus guard maintains constant
observation of the detainees on the bus while the other exits the bus.
If the bus guard cannot physically pursue the detainee, he should run
to the closest escort vehicle, pointing the direction of escape. If the
bus guard determines physical and vehicle pursuit are not possible, he
shouts, “KIFF,KIFF,KIFF” and engages the target to prevent escape.
The bus guard on the bus conducts a headcount of detainees. Bus
guards on the other buses conduct a headcount and maintain
constant observation of their detainees. All personnel on the bus are
responsible for information of the escape reaching the OIC.
(2) Detainee Escape in a City
Responsibilities remain the same except that US personnel will not
pursue or engage a detainee who flees into a city or populated
township.
(3) RPG/Small Arms Attack (Vehicles Mobile)
During an attack, escort personnel who first witness the attack,
transmit; Enemy left/right, distance, type/number of weapons
employed. The scout vehicle maneuvers to a position to provide
suppressive fires as the convoy exits the “kill zone” and returns to the
convoy after the trail escort passes. Each escort who positively
identifies the target engages it when passing. Once out of small arms
range, the convoy stops to consolidate, reorganize and evacuate
injured personnel. NOTE: During an attack attempt to keep detainees
from escaping but if the escort is engaged, force protection takes
precedence over escaping detainees. Once force protection has been
established attempt to recapture any detainees who have escaped.
(See Figure 3-4)
OIC/Convoy Commander determines extent of enemy forces and
directs the scout vehicle to a position to provide suppressive fire on
enemy forces as the convoy exits the “kill zone”. The OIC/Convoy
Commander continues to assess the engagement and take
appropriate action until out of the kill zone.
(b) NCOIC
The Convoy NCOIC immediately informs a “Sheriff Element” on SC
Freq 30.350 of the attack and location. Upon reorganization and
consolidation, the NCOIC obtains a PACE
(Prisoners/Ammo/Casualties/Equipment) Report from the NCOIC of
each vehicle and assists with Triage procedures and 9-line MedEvac
if necessary.
(c) Team Leaders
Team Leaders direct gunners to engage targets when passing enemy
positions as well as inform the OIC/NCOIC of any information not
reported in the initial call.
(d) Gunners
Gunners immediately engage enemy forces and provide covering fire
as the convoy passes through the kill zone.
(e) Bus Drivers
Bus drivers increase speed and exit the kill zone.
(f) Bus Guards
Both bus guards maintain constant observation of detainees and
prevent escape attempts.
18
(4) RPG/Small Arms Attack (Vehicles Immobile)
In the event an escort vehicle or bus is rendered immobile during
an attack, the lead and trail escort will lead the buses out of the kill
zone. The scout vehicle and middle escorts will engage/destroy
enemy forces. NOTE: During an attack attempt to keep detainees
from escaping but if the escort is engaged, force protection takes
precedence over escaping detainees. Once force protection has
been established attempt to recapture any detainees who have
escaped. (See Figure 3-5)
OIC determines extent of enemy forces and directs the scout
vehicle to a position to provide suppressive fire on enemy forces
as the convoy exits the “kill zone”. The OIC continues to assess
the engagement and take appropriate action until out of the kill
zone.
(b) NCOIC
The Convoy NCOIC immediately informs a “Sheriff Element” on
SC Freq 30.350 of the attack and location. Upon reorganization
and consolidation, the NCOIC obtains a PACE
(Prisoners/Ammo/Casualties/Equipment) Report from the NCOIC
of each vehicle and assists with Triage procedures and 9-line
MedEvac if necessary.
(c) Team Leaders
Team Leaders direct gunners to engage targets when passing
enemy positions as well as inform the OIC/NCOIC of any
information not reported in the initial call. As soon as possible,
team leaders direct the driver of their vehicle to assist the down
escort or bus.
(d) Gunners
Gunners immediately engage enemy forces with their M249
Automatic Rifle. If necessary, gunners engage the enemy with
their MK19 Grenade Machine Gun in the firing order determined
during rehearsals. When the gunner changes to the MK19, the
team leader engages the enemy with the M249.
(e) Bus Drivers
Bus drivers increase speed and exit the kill zone. If a bus is
immobile, the driver assists the guards in observing the detainees.
(f) Bus Guards
Both bus guards maintain observation of detainees and prevent
escape attempts. If the bus is immobile, the bus guards continue
to maintain observation of detainees. Bus guards should contact
escort personnel as soon as the bus is rendered immobile to relay
a PACE report.
(5) Indirect Fire
When receiving indirect fire, all vehicles increase speed to exit the
area of impact as quickly as possible. Responsibilities of
personnel remain the same as that of any other attack. If a vehicle
is rendered immobile, the vehicle behind it will attempt to stop and
cross-load personnel. Once in a safe area, consolidation,
reorganization and medevac procedures are initiated. NOTE:
During an attack attempt to keep detainees from escaping but if
the escort is engaged, force protection takes precedence over
escaping detainees. Once force protection has been established
attempt to recapture any detainees who have escaped.
(6) IED Attack - Exploded
The primary concern during a stop due to an IED attack is the
medical treatment and security of personnel and the accountability
of detainees. All personnel should keep in mind that IED attacks
can be used to set the stage for an ambush, small arms attack
and/or RPG attack. NOTE: During an attack attempt to keep
detainees from escaping but if the escort is engaged, force
protection takes precedence over escaping detainees. Once force
protection has been established attempt to recapture any
detainees who have escaped.
OIC assesses situation and deploys security/medical personnel as
needed. Sends a SALUTE report through the chain of command
as soon as possible. If possible, the OIC directs the buses and
non-essential escorts to move past the blast site to a safer area as
large crowds always gather.
(b) NCOIC
NCOIC notifies Sheriff on 30.350 using the 9 line UXO/IED report.
The Convoy NCOIC obtains a PACE
(c) Team Leaders
Team Leaders ensure that team members continue to provide 360degree security and relay any changes in the situation to the
OIC/NCOIC. Trail vehicles are additionally responsible for blocking
traffic to the best of their ability.
(d) Gunners
Gunners provide over watch security.
Bus drivers help provide over-watch of detainees whenever the bus is
stopped.
(f) Bus Guards
escape attempts. If the bus is immobile, the bus guards continue to
maintain observation of detainees.
(7) IED/UXO Sighting - Unexploded
The primary concern during a stop due to an IED or UXO sighting is
the security of personnel and the accountability of detainees. All
personnel should keep in mind that IED attacks can be used to set the
stage for an ambush, small arms attack and/or RPG attack. Further,
UXO have been placed in order to stage convoys for an IED attack. All
soldiers must continuously scan the area looking for dangers. NOTE:
During an attack attempt to keep detainees from escaping but if the
escort is engaged, force protection takes precedence over escaping
detainees. Once force protection has been established attempt to
recapture any detainees who have escaped.
needed. Sends a SITREP through the chain of command as soon as
possible. If possible, the OIC directs the buses and non-essential
escorts to move past the blast site to a safer area as large crowds
always gather.
(b) NCOIC
NCOIC notifies Sheriff on 30.350 using the 9 line UXO/IED report. The
Convoy NCOIC obtains a PACE
if necessary.
(c) Team Leaders
OIC/NCOIC.
(d) Gunners
Bus drivers help provide over-watch of detainees whenever the bus is
stopped.
(f) Bus Guards
escape attempts. If the bus is immobile, the bus guards continue to
maintain observation of detainees.
(8) Traffic Congestion and Accidents
The primary concern during traffic congestion is the security of
personnel and the accountability of detainees. All personnel should
keep in mind that traffic congestion and accidents can be used to set
the stage for a vehicle ambush. NOTE: During an attack attempt to
keep detainees from escaping but if the escort is engaged, force
protection takes precedence over escaping detainees. Once force
protection has been established attempt to recapture any detainees
who have escaped.
(a) Traffic Congestion
When passing through towns where there is heavy traffic, all vehicles
in the convoy close distance and keep the convoy tight. Gunners
keep constant watch of their surroundings. Both bus guards maintain
observation of detainees until convoy speed resumes. On highways
where there is heavy traffic, all drivers should drive defensively but
aggressively.
19
(b) Traffic Accidents
Most Iraqi drivers have limited patience and habitually drive in a
manner that is dangerous to US convoys. In the event of an
accident, security and accountability is still the primary concern.
The medic and aid/liter teams will assist injured personnel if
necessary whether they are Iraqi civilians or Coalition Forces. If
no personnel are severely injured and the chain of command has
been notified, the convoy continues the mission.
(c) OIC/Convoy Commander
needed. Sends a SITREP through the chain of command as soon
as possible, so that Iraqi Police may be notified. If possible, the
OIC directs the buses and non-essential escorts to move past the
accident to a safer area as large crowds always gather.
(d) NCOIC
(e) Team Leaders
OIC/NCOIC.
(f) Gunners
(g) Bus Drivers (If Military)
Bus drivers help provide over-watch of detainees whenever the
bus is stopped.
(h) Bus Guards
escape attempts. If the bus is immobile, the bus guards continue
to maintain observation of detainees.
(9) Breakdowns and Flat Tires
For breakdowns and flat tires, the convoy stops and
responsibilities are the same as that of a traffic accident except for
the OIC. If in an unsafe area, the nonessential escorts and buses
continue forward and stop at a safer area. For breakdowns, the
convoy escorts use a tow-bar or strap to move the vehicle to a
safer area or the nearest coalition camp if possible. Bus
breakdown must unload all prisoners and split them up between
the other buses. Call higher (phone or MTS) to assist with getting
tow trucks for bus or military vehicles.
OIC assesses situation and directs lead vehicle to take buses and
nonessential escorts to a safer area. OIC informs sends a
SALUTE report through the chain of command as soon as
possible.
(10)
Fight/Disturbance on the Bus
In the event of a fight or other disturbance on the bus, the convoy
will not stop. It is best to keep going and let the prisoners fight it
out. It could be used as a way to lure soldiers to come and then take
control of the vehicle. As the situation is resolved, a cloth sandbag
may be placed over the heads of any detainees involved.
OIC/Convoy Commander monitors and assesses the situation informs
the chain of command of the situation and informs security personnel.
(b) NCOIC
if necessary.
(c) Team Leaders
Team leader relays information of disturbance to the OIC. Team
Leader ensures that team members continue to provide 360-degree
security and relay any changes in the situation to the OIC/NCOIC.
(d) Gunners
(e) Bus Drivers
Bus driver stops the bus when appropriate.
(f) Bus Guards
Bus guards will shout “Awgaf te-ra ar-me” (Stop or I will shoot). One
non-lethal round may be loaded in each shotgun for use to break up
fights as determined by the OIC/NCOIC. If necessary, this round may
be fired by the bus guards to stop the fight. Use of lethal rounds is
authorized in the event that US/Coalition or another detainees lives
are endangered per CJTFF ROE cards.
(11)
Medical Emergency
The procedures/responsibilities for medical emergencies are the same
as fights/disturbances on the bus except for the bus guards.
(a) Bus Guards
The bus guard with the shotgun maintains observation of detainees
while the other guard radios the escort to inform the OIC of the
medical emergency.
i. Communications Plan
(a) The method of communication is established in the OPORD
by the OIC. Some type of radio such as a Motorola 2-way or
SINCGAR man-pack should be used.
(b) Each bus and each escort vehicle should have access to the
type of radio used as some radios have limited range.
(c) Upon receipt of information from escort to bus, the escort
should make every attempt to notify the OIC through SINCGARs so
that appropriate action may be taken.
(d) If a bus is unable to communicate important information to
anyone, the bus needs to stop until the situation is rectified. Every
person who has knowledge of the information should continue to
contact the OIC until they are sure he has received the information.
(e) Buses should avoid using unit call signs and identify
themselves by their placement in the convoy (ie: Bus 1, Bus 2) in
order to avoid confusion.

attempting to find and secure all escapee(s) and return back to the
(IF).
d. In the event, the ASO or QRF Teams locate the
escapee(s), they will radio their location so other MP’s can proceed
to the area to assist.
e. Remember to follow the ROE/RUF at Appendix-B and C to
apprehend the escapee(s). Do not put yourself or your MP
Security Force Team at risk while attempting to apprehend an
escapee(s). When you have located or think you have located any
escapees call for backup.
4-17. Use of Less Than Lethal Weapons (Shotgun):
a. Commander MNC-I has authorized the issue and use of
Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions to qualified Military Police
personnel.
b. Combative, non-compliant, armed and/or violent subjects
cause handling and control problems that require special training
and equipment. Less Lethal Force is force taken which presents
less potential for serious bodily injury or death than conventional
Military Police tactics. Less Lethal Force is preferable only to
lethal force, and should be considered: to de-escalate a dangerous
or potentially deadly situation; to control, detain or arrest a subject;
to protect Unites States Forces, Coalition Forces, or other persons
from harm, including protecting a subject from harming
himself/herself.
c. The availability of Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions
will allow Military Police personnel another use-of-force option in
dealing with riots, civil disturbances, apprehending armed subjects,
or other situations where the use of Less Lethal Specialty Impact
Munitions would be justified and preferable.
d. Authorization: Only Less Lethal Specialty Impact
Munitions qualified Military Police and ILO personnel performing
Military Police duties are authorized to use Less Lethal Specialty
Impact Munitions.
e. Procedures:
(1) Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions will not be stored
with Slugs or buck shot or other lethal rounds.
(2) Military Police personnel will only use the following Less
Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions: the rubber pellet, plastic missile, or
bean-bag round.
f. Usage Criteria:
(1) Less Lethal Force Specialty Impact Munitions shall be
employed when such force is necessary and appropriate, and used in
an effort to reduce the potential for death or serious bodily injury to all
persons involved.
(2) The use of Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions is
considered a Use Of Force and shall be employed in a manner
consistent with the ROE/RUF at Appendix-B and C.
(3) Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions are “EXTENDED
RANGE” impact weapons and fall under the intermediate weapon (MP
Baton) category for Use Of Force. Like all impact weapons,
depending on how they are used it may become a lethal weapon.
g. Specialty Impact Munitions Performance Characteristics:
(1) Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions lose energy after
leaving the barrel of the shotgun. It leaves the barrel at approximately
280 feet per second.
(2) The range varies from 10 feet aiming for major muscles
(buttocks, thigh) to 12 meters. Beyond 12 meters the energy and
accuracy of the round decreases.
(3) Wind, vegetation, fences, vehicles, and obstacles affect
accuracy.
h. Tactical Considerations For Deploying Less Lethal
Specialty Impact Munitions:
(1) Given certain situations, when Lethal Force is NOT justified,
nor is it safe for Military Police personnel to close in on a subject and
try to control them with physical skill and strength, Less Lethal
Specialty Munitions may be used.
(2) When empty hand control would be clearly ineffective or too
dangerous and Lethal Force is not yet justified, Less Lethal Specialty
Munitions may be used.
(3) In situations where Lethal Force is not yet justified, Less
Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions shot placement is very important
and must take into account variables of the situation:
(a) Subject size and build.
(b) Gender.
(c) Age.
(d) Clothing.
(e) Environmental conditions.
(f) Reaction Time and Distance to Threats.
(g) The Totality of the Circumstances.
i. Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions Mental and
Physical Effects:
(1) The Mental Effect of a subject may be more important during
Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions deployment than the physical
effect. Fear or panic, submission, fight or flight instinct may activate.
Multiple tactics applied simultaneously may help overwhelm a subject,
i.e. OC spray, distraction devices, K-9, or conversation with a
negotiator.
(2) The Physical effects from a Less Lethal Specialty Impact
Munitions are:
(a) A projectile impacting human tissue will either penetrate or be
blunt trauma.
(b) There is a lower chance that permanent injury will result from
blunt trauma to major muscle groups from the Fluid Shock Wave
Principle.
(c) Possible serious injury or death may result from impacts to the
head, neck and spinal areas such as concussions, contusions
(bruising of the brain), fractures to the face and upper spinal area.
(d) Upper torso dangers include hemothorax, pneumothorax,
hemorrhagic shock and diaphragmatic rupture any of which are
potentially fatal.
(e) Abdominal area impacts can lacerate the liver or spleen,
rupture the stomach, and damage kidneys and intestines.
j. Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions Shot Placement
Zones:
(1) ZONE 1: The THIGH, BUTTOCKS, LOWER ARM, OR
LOWER LEG. These areas may require multiple impacts.
33
(2) ZONE 2: An increased threat from the subject actions or
reactions from the first shot of Specialty Impact Munitions, target
the HAND, KNEE, UPPER ARM/SHOULDER, OR LOWER
ABDOMEN.
(3) ZONE 3: Final resort target area when maximum
effectiveness is desired to meet a level of threat escalating to
Deadly Force, UPPER HEAD, UPPER CHEST, HEAD, CROTCH,
AND SPINE.
k. Deployment of Less Lethal Specialty Impact
Munitions:
(1) Subjects armed with a weapon are lethal threats to United
States and Coalition Forces and innocent people. DO NOT
BRING A LESS LETHAL SPECIALTY IMPACT MUNITIONS TO A
GUN FIGHT! The decision to use Less Lethal Specialty Impact
Munitions should never be at the risks of United States or Coalition
Forces safety.
(2) Military Police personnel deploying Less Lethal Specialty
Impact Munitions shotgun must inform the other soldiers on the
inner perimeter that the Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions
may be used. Always have lethal force back up and an arrest
team of at least two Military Police Personnel to follow up quickly
once the Subject has been impacted with the Less Lethal Specialty
Impact Munitions.
(3) Military Police personnel deploying the Less Lethal
Specialty Impact Munitions should never be responsible for
negotiations.
(4) The Lethal Cover Backup Team is responsible for the
safety of the Military Police personnel deploying the Less Lethal
Specialty Impact Munitions.
(5) The Arrest Team is responsible for arresting the Subject
after he/she has been impacted with the Less Lethal Specialty
Impact Munitions.
(6) Subjects impacted by a Less Lethal Specialty Impact
Munitions will be examined by Medical Personnel.
l. Serious Incident Reports:
(1) A Serious Incident Report will be filled out by Military
Police personnel if Less Lethal Specialty Munitions are deployed.
(2) See Appendix-I and AR 190-40 for specific instructions
m. Training: Training on the use of Less Lethal Specialty
Impact Munitions will consist of the instruction, use, and types of
the Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions available; safe
weapons handling of a 12 gauge shotgun; Crowd Control and
Dynamics; Red Cross and Media Awareness; and Qualification
with the Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions.
4-18. Use of Less Than Lethal Weapons (Oleoresin
Capsicum (OC)):
a. OC Spray is not to be used as a punitive measure to
punish a Detainee. It is to be used only in self-defense or as a
planned use of force prior to using physical force.
b. OC Pepper Spray will be used in a planned use of force
scenario when a detainee must be subdued, when a detainee is
suspected of having a weapon, has barricaded his cell or coated
his body or cell with a slippery substance or bodily fluids.
Additionally, in nearly all circumstances OC pepper spray will be
used in cell extractions requiring the IRF to physically remove a
detainee from a confined area. If the detainee complies with the
instructions given by the IRF, OC pepper spray will not be used.
c. Training: All training for the use of OC Pepper Spray and
treatment of individuals exposed will be conducted IAW the Ft.
Leonard Wood NLWIC Program of Instruction (POI) for Oleoresin
Capsicum (OC) Spray.
d. Delegation:
(1) The Facility Commander may authorize the use of OC
pepper spray to preclude the need for use of physical force by the
Internal Reaction Force (IRF) or Escorts to control an unruly
detainee or detainees; to prevent the commission of a serious
offense involving violence and threatening death or serious bodily
harm; in self defense; to prevent a detainee from escaping; or to
extract a detainee(s) involved in a riot or disturbance.
(2) Military Police or ILO MP personnel, trained & certified in
the use of OC pepper spray are authorized to posses and carry on
their person during the duration of their shift OC Pepper Spray for
use during emergency for exigent circumstances. Use of force for OC
Spray will be IAW Appendix-B and C.
e. General: OC Pepper Spray is an inflammatory agent that
typically causes involuntary closing of the eyes, uncontrollable
coughing, loss of strength, stamina and power, and loss of
coordination and balance. No special decontamination is required
after OC application, but effects will be minimized if the subject is
exposed to airflow and cool water. OC pepper Spray typically has a
debilitating impact on the subject sprayed and a psychological impact
of the subject sprayed and witnesses.
f. Specific Instructions:
(1) Each compound control team will maintain a standing list of
detainees who have medical problems that would preclude the preplanned use of OC. The list will be provided by the medical section.
(2) Use of OC within a confined, specialized environment (i.e.
hospital, etc) should be limited to only when an extreme, lifethreatening emergency exists.
(3) OC should be administered by aiming at the eyes, nose and
mouth using a double-tap method of two bursts. If possible, the OC
pepper spray will be administered from approximately 3-6 feet away
from the Detainee when sprayed. If control is not achieved within
approximately 15 seconds after the first application of OC, a second
burst will be applied.
(4) The IRF team should wait until the Detainee is visibly
incapacitated or complies with orders and has assumed a position
appropriate for restraining before attempting to apprehend the
detainee. The IRF team should remember that OC affects different
people in different ways and to different levels. The incapacitating
effect of the OC pepper spray is expected to eliminate or significantly
reduce the Detainee’s ability to struggle and minimizes the amount of
physical force needed by the IRF to physically restrain and maintain
security of the Detainee.
(5) Once the Detainee is secured, he will be decontaminated by,
at a minimum, having the affected areas exposed to airflow and
washed in water. This should be done in a secure area with access to
water & airflow. These decontamination actions will be documented.
(6) Based on the Detainee’s behavior, the SOG will determine
whether the restraints will remain on the Detainee or be removed. If
the Detainee is to remain in restraints, he will be placed in an upright
position or on his side. At no time will the detainee be “hog tied” or
placed on his stomach. The detainee will remain under continuous
supervision of the guard,
(7) After OC is administered and the Detainee is under control
and restrained, the personnel will monitor the Detainee for one hour.
Should the Detainee complain of shortness of breath or other medical
conditions, the SOG will notify medical personnel. Based on the
Detainee’s medical condition, the medic will determine if further
medical care is needed. With the rare exception, OC spray does not
have a lasting impact.
(8) When possible, the following steps will be followed prior to
utilizing OC pepper spray.
(a) In a loud, clear voice order the Detainee to halt three times or
to stop the threatening behavior in the appropriate language.
(b) Allow the Detainee time to comply with the commands prior to
using OC.
(c) Visually scan the area for bystanders prior to dispensing the
OC spray.
(d) Hold the OC spray dispenser in the hand arm extended out
and away from their body aiming at the Detainee’s eyes, nose and
mouth, then if still justified, utilize the OC pepper spray in the manner
prescribed above.
(e) Once the situation has stabilized, the Detainee will be
decontaminated and this process documented.
(f) Once the Detainee has been subdued and restrained, contact
the TOC and inform of the situation.
(g) After the Detainee has been placed subdued medical
personnel will immediately evaluate the Detainee’s condition.
Detainee will be monitored for one hour. Should the Detainee
complain of shortness of breath or other medical conditions, the CCT
will notify medical personnel. Based on the Detainee’s medical
condition, the medic will determine if further medical care is needed.
34
4-19. Use of Less Than Lethal Weapons (Taser):
a. When necessary to regain control and restore order.
Taser will be used by trained personnel only. Prior to employment
of taser, all means must be attempted, i.e. confrontational
avoidance Techniques to resolve the situation.
b. The following situations are an examples authorizing the
use of a Taser.
(1) Assault of MP or detainee
(2) Destruction of facility
(3 Attempted suicide
(4) Self mutilation
(5) Becomes violent
c. The following situations are not considered as justifiable
for use of taser.
(1) Verbal harassment
(2) Peaceful demonstration (Can be waived if demonstration
interferes with operation of facility).
(3) Revenge
(4) Violations of curfew
d. These are examples. Every situation is different.
Common sense and use of good judgment are preferred ways to
resolve situations.
e. Employment of Taser:
(1) Used to regain control only, not as a punishment.
(2) Confrontational Avoidance. This is the first step that must
be used. IPC skills are essential in daily operations ideally 5 to 10
minutes using good IPC skills should be attempted when feasible.
Since more then likely an interpreter will be used, one must know
how to properly use an interpreter.
(3) Implied Intent. While using IPC skills you see that this is
showing no progress. The CCT team SOG will then draw the taser
and state in a clear authoritative tone. That If compliance is not
shown, the Taser will be used. The taser will be aimed at offender,
but will remain on safe with finger alongside the trigger.
(4) Employment of Taser: If taser is used, it will be used only
until detainee complies and offers no resistance to MP’s.
(a) AIM: Proper aim will be used with taser. You will aim at
the largest portion of the body. At no time will you aim at the head
of a detainee.
(b) SHOOT: Once you take aim and shoot, hold the trigger
until the countdown display reads 00. Release the trigger. If you
need to shoot again, re-squeeze the trigger. Squeeze only until
detainee shows compliance, then immediately stop.
(c) Once compliance is demonstrated and no further
resistance is shown, approach detainee, remove probes, place
detainee in restraints, and have medical examine detainee.
f. The Taser is not a toy. It is a device used to regain control
only. If any solider is found using it outside of its intended use, the
solider will be subject to UCMJ action.
4-20. Serious Incident Reports:
a. A Serious Incident Report will be filled out by Military
Police personnel if Less Lethal Specialty Munitions are deployed.
b. See AR 190-40 for specific instructions
c. The report will include at a minimum the following
information:
(1) The date, time, and location of the incident.
(2) Name, rank, and unit of all Military Police personnel
involved in deploying the Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions.
(3) Name, rank, and unit of the Military Police personnel in
charge at the scene.
(4) Number of Less Lethal Specialty Impact Munitions used.
(5) The names, if possible, of the Subjects struck with Less
Lethal Specialty Munitions.
(6) Any injury to Subject(s) struck by a Less Lethal Specialty
Impact Munitions to include any medical treatment received by the
Subject(s).
(7) What type of force the Subject(s) used against United
States or Coalition Forces.
(8) What other Use of Force means were tried or used, i.e.

dispensed, name of medication, and the amount of medication given.
2. These medications should not be taken from the detainees since this can result in worsening of their condition. For
example, high blood pressure that is uncontrolled because of a lack of medication.
3. If an MP confiscates a medication for any reason, the on duty medic should be informed immediately.
4. Each MP CCT tent has a box of simple, over the counter medications such as ibuprofen, Pepto-Bismol, etc., that may be
dispensed by CCT’s for minor problems that do not require consultation with a medic. If the MP has any question about
dispensing these medications, they should contact the medic on duty for guidance.
5. Any medications that need stricter control (Controlled Substances) such as antidepressant medications, are to be dispensed
daily by the CCT. This is IAW Army policy and regulation.
a. These medications will be accompanied by a controlled substance sheet, upon which the CCT’s will initial the
appropriate area for medication issued.
b. Each time the medication gets issued by the CCT, it must be accounted for at the end of the shift.
c. The Detainee must be observed putting the medication in his mouth, and then swallow an adequate amount of water.
d. All medication controlled by CCT’s will have the time of day it should be issued, the amount of medication to be given,

b. Rules For the Use of Force for Detention Facilities.
(1) Self defense. Persons or forces that demonstrate hostile
intent or commit a hostile act against coalition forces may be
engaged using necessary and proportional force, including deadly
force, IAW the current rules of engagement (ROE). Necessary
and proportional force, up to and including deadly force, is always
authorized in self-defense of coalition forces, and to protect
designated persons and property, IAW the current ROE.
(2) Use of deadly force against escaping detainees. Deadly
force against detainees escaping or attempting to escape
constitutes an extreme measure which shall always be preceded
by warnings appropriate to the circumstances. Deadly force WILL
not be used against an escaping detainee except as a last resort
when there are no other means available to apprehend the
detainee. DEADLY FORCE MAY always BE USED IAW para
b(1).
(3) Graduated response. Use only a graduated response, to
include various riot control means (RCM) other than riot control
agents (RCA), when faced with potential prisoner riots or civil
disturbances. Graduated force should be used when the situation
permits and it is reasonable and practicable to do so. The use of
force should be necessary, proportional, and reasonable in
intensity, duration, and magnitude. If necessary, the following
degrees of graduated force should be used:
(a) Shout. Verbal warnings to halt/stop in native language
three times.
(b) Shove: Physically restrain, block access, or detain.
(c) Show: Show your weapon and demonstrate the intent to
use it.
(d) Shoot: SHOOT WARNING SHOT(S) (If Appropriate).
(e) Shoot: To remove the threat of death/serious bodily injury.
If you must fire:
(1) Warning shots are authorized. Detention facility
commanders will decide whether to incorporate warning shots as
part of a graduated response.
(2) Fire only aimed shots.
(3) Fire no more rounds than necessary.
(4) Fire with due regard to innocent bystanders.
(5) Take reasonable efforts not to destroy property.
(6) Stop firing as soon as the situation permits.
munitions in the facility to disperse rioting prisoners, prevent escape, or
protect designated personnel. However, service members conducting
the mission must retain the capability to immediately revert to lethal
force if the situation dictates. The decision cycle should always be to
respond to a potential lethal situation postured to use lethal force,
assess the situation, and if the situation dictates, to transition to
nonlethal force.
(5) Riot control means (RCM). Riot Control Means, other than riot
control agents (RCA), shall include any system designed as a nonlethal means of dispersing unruly crowds, rioting prisoners, or for the
protection of designated personnel. They include, but are not limited
to, riot control clothing (i.e. shields, batons, etc.), foam/rubber bullets,
bean bags, water cannons, flash bangs, Tasers, and any other nonlethal weapon approved for military use by the joint non-lethal weapons
directorate.
(6) USE OF TASERS. A Taser is a non-lethal system that
temporarily incapacitates a person through electro muscular disruption.
tasers are a RCM IAW b(5) under Ref K, Tasers have passed legal
review with the Department of the Army Office of the Staff Judge
Advocate. As with other RCMs, Taser users, including on-scene
commanders, must be properly trained and qualified under the
appropriate service regulations and non-lethal weapons course
instruction prior to use.
(7) Riot control agents (RCA). Riot control agents are defined as
any chemical, which is not listed in the chemical weapons convention,
which can produce rapidly in humans’ sensory irritation or disabling
physical effects which disappear within a short time following
termination of exposure. Examples include Ortho
chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS), Chloracetophenone (CN), and
Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) (“Pepper Spray”). NOTHING IN THIS
FRAGO SHALL BE DEEMED TO PROHIBIT PROPERLY-TRAINED
LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL, OR PERSONNEL
AUTHORIZED TO PERFORM LAW ENFORCEMENT FUNCTIONS,
PARTICULARLY THOSE CONDUCTING DETENTION
OPERATIONS, FROM EMPLOYING OC (PEPPER SPRAY) AS THE
SITUATION REQUIRES. DETENTI9ON FACILITY COMMANDERS
WILL MAINTAIN A LIST OF PERSONNEL WHO HAVE BEEN
TRAINED ON THE USE OF RCM.
(8) Use of RCM and RCA. Use only a graduated response IAW
para b(3), to include various riot control means (RCM) other than RCA,
when faced with potential prisoner riots, civil disturbances, or any other
situation listed in b(4). RCA shall be used only as a last (Non-Lethal)
resort. EVERY SERVICEMEMBER, INCLUDING ON-SCENE
COMMANDERS, EXPECTED TO EMPLOY ANY NON-LETHAL
RCM/RCA MUST BE PROPERLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED TO
USE THAT PARTICULAR NON-LETHAL SYSTEM UNDER THE
APPROPRIATE SERVICE REGULATIONS.
(a) INFORM CG, CJTF-7, IMMEDIATELY, THROUGH
OPERATIONAL CHANNELS, OF ANY REPORTED USE OF RCA.
(b) Release authority for RCM and RCA. In detention
facilities, the facility commander shall have the authority to both
issue and release Non-Lethal RCM to include RCA.
(9) Designated personnel. Deadly force is authorized to protect
designated personnel. Designated personnel include, but are not
limited to, innocent civilians; enemy prisoners of war; all civilian
contractors; coalition forces; personnel from us and coalition
government agencies; detainees from crimes committed by another
detainee that are likely to cause death or serious bodily harm; and any
other personnel the facility commander may designate.

DEADLY FORCE. When possible, use the following degrees of
force against hostile actors:
a. SHOUT; Verbal warnings to HALT or “KIFF” (“COUGH”).
b. SHOVE; Physically restrain, block access, or detain.
c. SHOW; Your weapon and demonstrate intent to use it.
d. SHOOT; To remove the threat of death/serious bodily injury or
to protect designated property.
IF YOU MUST FIRE:
(1) Fire only aimed shots. No Warning Shots (See NOTE-1).
(2) Fire no more rounds than necessary.
(3) Fire with due regard for the safety of innocent bystanders.
(4) Take reasonable efforts not to destroy property.
(5) Stop firing as soon as the situation permits.
NOTE-1: Warning shots will not be fired at any time while
conducting Detainee Operations at Camp Bucca due to the
danger to innocent bystanders, and based on directives in AR
190-14 and DOD Directive 5210.56. This is an authorized
deviation from CJTF-7 Frago-741, paragraph 3.D.1.C. D by the
Camp Commander IAW subparagraph (1).
NOTE-2: For Example: If a detainee successfully breaches the
outside wire/fence and is running away. Guards should shout for
him to stop, but if the detainee does not, deadly force is authorized.
Rationale is the detainee then prevents a safety/security concern for
innocent civilians and/or Coalition Forces in the area.
RULES FOR USE OF NON LETHAL FORCE
1. RIOTS/PROTECTING DESIGNATED PERSONNEL/
VIOLATIONS OF CAMP RULES: Detention Facility Security
OIC/NCOIC may authorize the use of non-lethal munitions. However, the
soldier or soldiers conducting the mission must retain the capability to
immediately revert to lethal force if the situation dictates. The decision
cycle should always be to respond to a potential lethal situation postured
to use lethal force, assess the situation, and if the situation dictates, to
transition to non-lethal force.
2. Situations When Non-Lethal Force (Shotgun) Is Authorized:
Prior to the use of any Non-Lethal Force (Shotgun) the CCT should
be notified of situation and given the opportunity to correct Detainee
actions/violations. Nothing in these rules limits your inherent
authority and obligation to escalate from shout to shoot as the
situation requires.
a. DISPERSAL: (When Detainees have formed into a crowd and are
performing threatening gestures towards CCT and CCT can not resolve
situation or have requested intervention).
(1) SHOUT; verbal warnings to HALT or “KIFF” (pronounced
“COUGH”) ONE time
(2) SHOW; weapon and demonstrate intent to use it. SHOUT verbal
warning to HALT or “KIFF” ONE time.
(3) CHAMBER, one round of Non-Lethal ammunition and SHOUT
verbal warning to HALT or “KIFF” ONE time.
(4) SHOOT, If Necessary.
b. FIGHTING: (Detainees have engaged in physical altercation and
CCT can not resolve situation or respond in a timely manner to prevent
Detainees from causing bodily harm to each other).
c. CROSSING OF FENCELINE BOUNDARY: (When Detainees
have crossed the identified fence line boundary (identified by sandbags).
If the Detainee is NOT making an attempt to actually escape, Tower
Guards will notify CCT to correct Detainees actions.
d. ENFORCEMENT OF CURFEW: (When Detainees have refused
orders of CCT to adhere to curfew and CCT can not resolve situation).
3. PROFANITY is NOT a level of force and is NOT authorized. Treat all
persons with dignity and respect.
2. ESCAPES: Deadly Force may be used against an escaping
detainee as a last resort, if there are no other reasonable means
available to apprehend the detainee. (See Note-2).

Appendix E
Behavior Management - Discipline Procedures
E-1
PURPOSE:
To outline requirements and procedures for managing detainee
discipline and positive behavior. This system will protect the health,
safety, and security of all persons within the facility by providing for a
fair and consistent delivery of consequences for negative behavior and
rewards for positive behavior.
E-2
RESPONSIBILITY:
a. All military and civilian personnel working in Camp Bucca
will be familiar with and conform to the procedure prescribed by
this policy.
b. Unit leaders and shift SOG’S are responsible for ensuring
that their personnel are familiar with and comply with this
procedure.
c. Personnel may be held accountable under the UCMJ for
failing to follow the guidelines set forth under this SOP.
E-3
EXECUTION: The following guidelines will be followed to
fairly and accurately determine appropriate levels of discipline and
rewards for detainee behavior.
a. DISCIPLINE PROCEDURES:
(1) When a Detainee’s actions constitutes what is believed to
be an infraction of camp rules or offenses listed in Enclosure 1
(List of Offenses) the chain of command within the camp will be
notified. (Priority: SOG, OPS SGM, S-3, Battalion Commander.)
(2) The CCT SOG will consult Table E-1, List of Offenses
(LOO), and locate the offense on the list. If the offense is not
listed, attempt to locate a similar offense or an offense similar in
seriousness to the offense committed by the Detainee. Identify the
severity level of the offense.
(3) Review specific detainee’s discipline record located at
respective Compound CCT Tent to determine the number and
seriousness of prior offenses (See Table E-5, Detainee Discipline
Log). A pattern of prior serious offenses may justify a higher level
of discipline measure and will be used to determine level of
discipline imposed. (Discipline records will be kept in ISN
numerical order).
(4) On the Discipline Matrix (Table E-2) plot the severity level
of the offense and the number of prior offenses, regardless of the
type of prior offense. Note the number in the box.
(5) Locate the box number in the discipline list to determine
the discipline measures for this offense.
(6) If several offenses were committed at the same time, do
not add all discipline measures together to determine the
discipline. Instead, use the severity level of the highest severity
level offense committed to determine discipline number on the
grid. Then go one level higher on the severity level to plot the
discipline measure.
(7) When a discipline measure is applied to a Detainee, he
will be notified of the reason for the discipline, the type of discipline
measure and the length of discipline. Any detainee receiving
discipline based upon the use of the Discipline matrix will be
provided with a copy of Discipline Notification Form. (See Table
E-6).
(8) DD Form 508: Documentation of any discipline measure
will be annotated on DD Form 508.
(a) Minor deviations, within the guidelines of the discipline
matrix are authorized based upon the CCT SOG’s purview, but
any deviation from that specified by the discipline matrix will be
documented on DD Form 508 in the “Disciplinary Action” block
with an explanation as to why the deviation from the SOP was
imposed.
(b) When DD Form 508 is used for discipline a Significant
Activity Report is not required from CCT preparing the form.
(NOTE: Significant Activity Reports (Appendix-H) will still be
submitted from other witnesses to the action that caused the DD
Form 508 to be used.
(c) DD Form 508 will be turned in by the CCT SOG to the
Battalion Operations upon the completion of shift.
(d) Battalion Operations will maintain files of all DD Form 508
concerning detainees.
(9) Battalion Operations will be informed by radio any time
discipline is imposed. Battalion Operations will annotate this
information on the operations staff journal.
(10)
It should be remembered that many actions taken by
Detainees that require discipline measures might also result in
future criminal charges against the Detainee, thus the need for
accurate and complete documentation.
(11)
Other Requirements:
(a) Notification to the chain of command will be made for any
situations involving unusual circumstances, the use of NLW or the
use of the IRF. (NOTE: Any use of Non-Lethal Weapons requires
that a Serious Incident Report (SIR) and a Significant Activities
Report be submitted (Appendix-H).
(b) Moves to Isolation can be made by the CCT SOG IAW the
discipline matrix but approval by one of the following: Battalion
Operations Battle NCO or Battle Captain, the Battalion Operations
SGM, the Battalion S-3, or Battalion Commander is required.
(c) When moves to isolation have been completed the
Battalion Operations will be notified. This notification must include
ISN number, reason for move, approving authority and length of
discipline.
b. BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT PROGRAM CONCEPT:
(1) The Behavior Management Program is a five level system
of privileges based on the premise that a detainee’s behavior
determines the privileges they are allowed. As the detainee
adapts to the rules of the camp, his conduct will earn him more
privileges. Basic issue items, and authorized/unauthorized items
and activities for each level of privileges are listed in tables at
Table E-3. Detainee’s qualified for level 1 privileges may also be
eligible for additional items and activities not listed in tables.
(a) Level-1: Detainees receive a higher level of privileges
than Level-2, and having spent a minimum of (45) day’s incident
free at Level-2.
(b) Level-2: Detainees at this level receive a higher level of
privileges than Level-3 and having spent a minimum of (30) day’s
incident free at Level-3.
(c) Level-3: all detainees start at this level. Detainees at this
level receive a higher level of privileges than Level-4. Detainees
must spend a minimum of (30) day’s incident free at this level
before they can be considered for a move to a Level-2 status.
(d) Level-4: Detainees start this level serving time in isolation
based upon the offense committed and IAW the discipline matrix
at Enclosure-1 and 2. After serving required time in isolation,
established by the discipline matrix, detainees will be moved to the
compound designated for Level-4 behavior. Detainees must
spend a minimum of (45) day’s incident free in a Level-4
compound before they can be considered for a move to a Level-3
status.
(e) Level-5: Detainees will only be assigned this level for
intelligence gathering purposes.
1. Detainees will receive privileges as determined by
intelligence personnel after they have been coordinated through
the Battalion Operations section.
2. If a detainee receiving privileges for intelligence purposes
commits a disciplinary offense they are subject to losing those
privileges and being moved to a level with fewer privileges.
(2) A detainee will change levels based on his behavior.
(3) A detainee must spend the required time incident free at a
specific level before they can move to a level with more privileges.
This is in order to prove his ability to function at a higher level of
privileges.
(4) This Behavior Management Program will only work if all
personnel involved adhere to the guidelines set forth in this SOP,
mistakes made at any level of the procedures of this program can
negatively affect the entire program.
59
c. BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
PROCEDURES:
(1) Records:
(a) All detainees’ interned at Camp Bucca will be identified on
a roster IAW “Detainee Privilege Level Roster” example at Table
E-4.
(b) Discipline matrix will be located in the IF at CCT Tents.
CCT’s will maintain the discipline logs for individual detainees
assigned to respective compounds.
(d) Detainees will not be authorized to move to a compound
of less privileges.
(e) Move detainees to compounds they are authorized to
move to, starting with the move of level-4 detainees to level-3,
then level-3 to level-2, and level-2 to level-1.
(c) Prior to the Review Board meeting a current detainee
manifest will be obtained by operations administrative personnel
from processing line. Operations administrative personnel will
update Detainee Privilege Level Roster columns 1-4, as required
to add new detainee’s and remove transferred or released
detainees. Provide a printed copy to Review Board OIC.
(2) Review Board:
(a) Will consist of (1) OIC (normally from operations section),
(2) CCT SOG’s and (1) administrative clerk from operations
section.
(b) Board will meet every Saturday at 1300 hours. Location
will be determined by board OIC.
(c) Steps For Conducting Board will be as follows:
1. Obtain updated Detainee Privilege Level Roster from
Operations administrative personnel.
2. Using an updated Detainee Privilege Level Roster
(example at Table E-4) board will screen all discipline logs located
in IF CCT tents.
3. Annotate “YES” or “NO” as appropriate in column-5
“Infractions Since Assigned Current Level’.
4. If column-5 was a “NO” then move on to the next detainee
if column-5 was a “YES” then list the date of the last infraction.
5. If detainee has not had any disciplinary problems and the
appropriate number of days has passed for them to be eligible to
move to a higher privilege level, the board will place the comment
“Move UP’ in column-8 “Board Recommendation”.
6. If detainee has had disciplinary problems add (30) days to
the date of the “Date Of Last Infraction” in column-6. If the new
date does not fall on a Saturday count forward to the next
Saturday and that date will then be placed in column-7 “Date
Eligible For Review”.
7. If detainee is eligible to move up a privilege level annotate
in column-9 “Privilege Level To Move To” the level they are
authorized to move to.
8. Operations administrative clerk will update Detainee
Privilege Level Roster on computer with remarks.
9. After Detainee Privilege Level Roster has been updated,
perform a sort of all data by column-8 ‘Board Recommendation”.
Then print a roster of all detainee’s who are eligible to move up a
privilege level.
10. Roster of detainees eligible to move up a privilege level
will be provided to CCT SOG who will be on shift the next day
(Sunday) from 0600-1800.
11. After moves have been made CCT SOG will turn in roster
to operations, updated to reflect the compounds the detainees are
moved to. Operations administrative personnel will update
information in the Detainee Privilege Level Roster in columns, 2, 3,
4, and 7
(3) Moves:
(a) CCT SOG will inform detainees who are listed on the
movement roster that they are eligible to move.
(b)
Detainee will be given the choice to either stay at his
current level, (i.e. to stay with family members who are not eligible
to move) or move to the next higher privilege level. (NOTE: If
detainee wants to stay at the current level he will be informed that
he will not be eligible to move to a higher privilege level until the
next review period, normally that will be the following week).
(c) Detainees who are eligible to move up a privilege level will
be given the choice to move to any compound that has been
designated as a privilege level compound that they are eligible for.
